Lunch

[Jennifer]

buds:

Sunday's lunch was just the trusted Chicken Rice at Greenridge Shopping Centre's BAGUS after visiting the family doctor. I had another episode of my giddy spell.. caused by imbalance. I felt the everything was upside down even whilst lying down or in stationary position sitting or standing. Thankfully hubs and the kids were around else i'd have fallen down again. Old oredi, must avoid falling else got bone crack and what nots choy ahh.

Do take care.

Hi, buds.


Can you try this with your hubby's help? Best before food, else might vomit cos the giddiness while doing this exercise can be overwhelming.

After \"slam\" down on the bed, wait for 5- 20 seconds, if the spinning sensation comes, then it's confirm positional vertigo.

Yes Harlequin, I'm taking medication for that if and when it comes. No slamming around for awhile. Especially since he has to work. I try not to look down or close my eyes (unless I'm sleeping) and when standing up I focus on things out front or slightly higher, can't look or bend down or rather try not to because my boys are still small. They play and have toys on the floor and mat.. washing them up requires bending down and getting up.. hubs already showered them before he left for work. I ordered in pizza yesterday.. I try if can cook today or else will order in. Hubs said better not risk doing cutting or chopping and all the things in the kitchen just to play safe. I'll play by ear. See how.


Thanks for your concern. I appreciate it very much. :hugs: I'm better today. Not much \"heavy head\" feeling today just more to headache like after a really bad hangover.

PS. I don't hafta stand on one leg to feel full wave of the dizziness. I get a severe one even lying down. Yes, I feel everything moving even when lying down. The nausea is part of the experience as well.

Another video.... with clearer instruction from a therapist.

Buds,

You are not in safe mode to do any cooking or housework today…at least while girls are not back from school. Lie down and rest ok?
Order in KFC or pizza. Take care of yourself…2 little ones around.

Already cooked rice before hubs left, later just to see if I'm up to prepare soup or something simple for the boys. If not, i will order in again today.

soup?! Don't carry the pot of hot soup, not even from the stove to the sink....

Just now I mentioned \"slam\" I was referring to the exercise in the YouTube video, the free falling act... hope you view the video and try the exercise.

2 yrs ago, I spent quite a long while to find out what's wrong with me, I went for audio test twice, seen at least 6 doctors, even did MRI, took a few type of medicines... all with no help... At last I went to a neurologist, Dr. Ho King Hee and he diagnosed me with BPV (Benign Positional Vertigo) He did a couple of that maneuver exercise on me and I was asked to do it at home 2x a day, the dizziness cured completely within 10days.

Buds,

I am lying down on the sofa while the boys watch television and playing their toys. Am just troubled by baby opening and closing the drawers. He just got his finger trapped and other than grunting at him each time he goes near I cannot go up and down to physically stop him afraid it might trigger another bout' of dizziness. Once it comes, I cannot find my bearings for quite some time and my head really aches from the intensity of everything that is spinning around inside my head.

Doc says I just need a couple of days of good rest. Like I can? Hubs took care if everything since Saturday. I was knocked out in bed the whole time. Hubs on stand-by, he will come home if I need him. So in the meantime I just lie down. Feel like I'm just lazying around. :oops:

Buds… when your hubby is back, please try that exercise in the video… The dizziness during the exercise only last for less than a minute, after that you’d feel much better.
